Funny Celebrity Nerds
The master of transformations "Weird Al" Yankovic in his clip "White & Nerdy" shows how any celebrity can turn into a nerd. Make nerds out of any celebrities, politicians, historical figures or famous painting characters. E.g. add braces, glasses, change haircuts to give your "victims" a nerdy look; show their nerdy life style and clothes. These are just some tips on making celebrity nerds - "White & Nerdy" video should give you some inspiration :) Don't forget to use celebrity names in your entry titles. Many thanks to preemiememe for the themepost.
Funny Noseless Celebrities
Nose is an important part of anyone's face so much that without the nose the face may become unrecognizable. Today we'll check whether this is true for celebrity faces. Take any celebrity and remove his/her nose together with the horizontal part of the head/face that contains the nose - the themepost provides a good example. Don't forget to include celebrity names in your entry titles.
Funny Celebrity Clowns
Somebody said: "Politicians are clowns in business suits." Does the 2016 election campaign looks like a circus to you? Take any celebrities or politicians and turn them into clowns. (Mimes are acceptable too in this contest.) Many thanks to hygglobert for the themepost
Funny Celebrity Christmas Cards

Police department designed a a very special Christmas card that was sent to 100 manually picked prolific criminal offenders on their "naughty list". The card features a police officer dressed as Santa carrying a machine gun and includes a message "Which list will you be on next year?". Photoshop Christmas cards featuring any celebrity as Santa. Many thanks to RealMeert for the themepost.
Funny Homeless Celebrities
With busy Christmas shopping quickly approaching, let us stop for a second and imagine what if some of the filthy-rich celebs would lose their fame and money, and ended up on the streets? Bankruptcy is not an uncommon guest among big spenders. Remember MC-Hammer, the highest paid hip-hop artist at the time? He used to cell phones to make ends meet, after he filed for bankruptcy in 1996. Turn any celebrities into homeless people living on the streets. Many thanks to turko for the themepost.

Robin Attas (Ph.D., University of British Columbia, 2011) joined the Department of Music as an Assistant Professor in the fall of 2013. Trained primarily as a music theorist, she teaches courses in the Materials of Music and Aural Skills sequences, as well as COR 110: The Global Experience.
Her main repertoire focus is popular music, with research encompassing a variety of perspectives, including rhythm and meter, form, text-music connections, and the analysis of popular music of other cultures, especially those of Central America and the Caribbean. Current research projects include investigating the relationship between typical rhythmic/metric patterns in popular music and moves on the dance floor; the development of meter in popular music introductions based on groove buildups; and the interaction of lyrics and music in the work of singer-songwriter John K. Samson and his band The Weakerthans. Dr. Attas is also interested more broadly in the inclusion of women composers in music analysis, and in advocating for women in the field of music theory.
As a teacher, she is interested in pursuing ways to adapt the standard music theory curriculum to include more writing and student engagement activities, and in exploring the use of new technologies both in and out of the classroom. She is also working to expand the traditional repertoire limits of music theory to include the analysis of popular and world music, and music by composers of diverse genders, races, and ethnicities, alongside common-practice art music.

VICTORIA FISCHER FAW is a pianist, teacher and scholar with a special emphasis on the music of Béla Bartók and the issues that defined his unique and influential style. The history of Dr. Fischer's fascination with Bartók's music began in graduate school: As she was completing her dissertation about the sources and performance practice of Bartók's Fourteen Bagatelles, Op. 6, she attended, and took the first prize, at Radford University's 1990 Bartók-Kabalevsky International Piano Competition. Dr. Fischer joined the music faculty of Elon University in North Carolina that same year. Through the years her concerts and lectures have taken her around the world and across the country to share her theories and discoveries about the issues that inform performance practice in Bartók's music. Because of her ongoing specialization in Bartók studies as scholar and performer, she was invited to direct an international Bartók Symposium at Radford in 1995 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the composer's death. The Radford University Bartók Symposium proved to be a momentous meeting of many of the greatest scholars and performers working in the Bartók world, contributing eventually to "Bartók Perspectives: Man, Composer, & Ethnomusicologist" edited by Elliott Antokoletz, Victoria Fischer, and Benjamin Suchoff, an Oxford University Press book which included the lectures presented at Radford. Other publications include a chapter contributed to A Bartók Companion (Cambridge University Press) and articles in Studia Musicology and The International Journal of Musicology.
Dr. Fischer received her musical education at Centenary College of Louisiana (B.M. in piano performance), the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (M.A. in musicology), the University of Texas at Austin (M.M. and D.M.A. in piano performance), and the Vienna Conservatory in Vienna, Austria. She has received grants from Rotary Foundation International, Fulbright, and IREX. She pursues an active career as performer, scholar, teacher and adjudicator, with activities in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, Italy, Hungary, England, Greece, Germany, Austria, and Belize. Now in her twenty-fourth year on the music faculty at Elon University, she has also served as Visiting Professor at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, and the University of Belize. At Elon she teaches piano, piano pedagogy, and music research. Recipient of a full-year sabbatical leave from Elon 2012 -2013, she is deeply engaged in her present research, which continues to explore the scholarship of performance and pedagogy in the piano music of Bartok. When not at Elon, she lives on a Christmas tree farm in Glade Valley, NC with husband Stephen.

This paper describes a newly designed upper-level undergraduate and graduate course, Autonomous Mobile Robots. The course employs active, cooperative, problem-based learning and is grounded in the fundamental computational problems in mobile robotics defined by Dudek and Jenkin. Students receive a broad survey of robotics through lectures, weekly assignments, and a final capstone project that includes a community outreach element and collaboration with artists. Students were assessed on several metrics from the ASEE literature; overall, they performed well in the course. The outreach event was also a success and was enjoyed by both the community attendees and student participants.

Maincrop potato varieties produce larger varieties for baking and roasting. For best results, 'chit' the tubers and then plant up from March to mid May. The potatoes will be ready to harvest approximately 20 weeks after planting. Maincrop potatoes are best grown in the ground, where they will have more space. 'Sarpo' potatoes offer exceptional resistance to blight, a common problem in potatoes.

J&J Weighs New Bid for Smith & Nephew, Times Says
Johnson & Johnson, the world's largest maker of health-care products, is considering a fresh takeover bid for Smith & Nephew Plc, the Sunday Times reported, without saying how it got the information.
Smith & Nephew, Europe's largest maker of knee and hip replacements, said on Jan. 14 it wasn't in talks that might lead to a takeover or merger, after the Daily Telegraph said the company was about to start informal negotiations with Biomet Inc. Sky News reported on Jan. 10 that London-based Smith & Nephew rejected a 7 billion pound ($11.1 billion) offer from Johnson & Johnson because it was too low.
Jeffrey Leebaw, a J&J spokesman, told Bloomberg News today in an e-mail message the company doesn't comment on rumor or speculation.

text: Amazon.com First up this week is Amazon.com ( AMZN), a Nasdaq stock that's been trailing its high-flying index year-to-date. Even though Amazon has made leaps and bounds in the last few weeks, it has still only earned investors 14% on the year, vs. that 18.7% that the Nasdaq Composite turned out. Still, the technicals point to more upside for shareholders of this $90 billion e-tailer in April. Amazon is coming off the heels of a double-bottom pattern right now, formed by a bottom right at the turn of the year, then another at the start of March. Those two bottoms are a bullish sign for investors right now; they indicate upside in shares. Amazon actually broke out late last month (a buy signal), only to come back down to its breakout level in the last few trading days. While that price action looks ominous, it's actually a good thing. The return to Amazon's breakout level is called a throwback -- it's a phenomenon that occurs when a stock breaks out only to return and test newfound support at their throwback level. Throwbacks are actually a positive because they give traders a chance to reaffirm support (at $198 for Amazon), and they give latecomers a second chance at a low-risk entry in shares. I'd recommend buying AMZN on a bounce off of the $198 breakout level. I also featured Amazon, which shows up on a list of JPMorgan's 24 Stocks That Are More Attractive Than Apple, recently in " 5 Breakout Trades to Take From Twitter." Prev 1 of 6 Next

Obama to Formulate Plans For Gun Control
WASHINGTON (AP) – Declaring the time for action overdue, President Barack Obama promised on Wednesday to send Congress broad proposals in January for tightening gun laws and curbing violence after last week's schoolhouse massacre in Connecticut.
Even before those proposals are drafted, Obama pressed lawmakers to reinstate a ban on military-style weapons, close loopholes that allow gun buyers to skirt background checks and restrict high-capacity ammunition clips.
"The fact that this problem is complex can no longer be an excuse for doing nothing," Obama said in his most detailed comments on guns since Friday's killing of 20 schoolchildren and six adults in Newtown, Conn. "The fact that we can't prevent every act of violence doesn't mean we can't steadily reduce the violence."
Gun control measures have faced fierce resistance in Congress for years but that may be changing now because of last week's violence. Since then, Obama has signaled for the first time in his presidency that he's willing to spend political capital on the issue and some prominent gun-rights advocates on Capitol Hill – Democrats and Republicans alike – have expressed willingness to consider new measures.
Still, given the long history of opposition to tighter gun laws, there is no certainty the legislation Obama backed Wednesday or the proposals he will send to Congress next month will become law.
Obama tasked Vice President Joe Biden, a longtime gun control advocate, with overseeing the administration-wide process to create those proposals. Beyond firearms' restrictions, officials will also look for ways to increase mental health resources and consider steps to keep society from glamorizing guns and violence.
Obama's January deadline underscores the desire among White House officials to respond swiftly to the Newtown shooting. Obama aides worry that as the shock of the shooting fades, so, too, will the prospects that pro-gun lawmakers will work with the White House to tighten restrictions.
"I would hope that our memories aren't so short that what we saw in Newtown isn't lingering with us, that we don't remain passionate about it only a month later," said Obama. He pledged to talk about gun violence in his State of the Union address.
Emphasizing the need to take action, Obama said eight people have been killed by guns across the U.S. since the Newtown shooting. Among them were a 4-year-old boy and three law enforcement officers.
The president has called for a national dialogue on gun violence before, after other mass shootings during his presidency. But his rhetoric has not been backed up with concrete action. And some of the gun measures Obama has signed lessened restrictions on guns, allowing people to carry concealed weapons in national parks and in checked bags on Amtrak trains
The president bristled at suggestions that he had been silent on gun issues during his four years in office. But he acknowledged that the Newtown shooting had been "a wake-up call for all of us."
The shooting appears to have had a similar impact on several longtime gun backers on Capitol Hill. Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat and avid hunter, has said "everything should be on the table" as Washington looks to prevent another tragedy, as has 10-term House Republican Jack Kingston of Georgia
There was little response from Republicans Wednesday following Obama's statements. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an independent who has been sharply critical of the president's lack of action on gun issues, called the effort a step in the right direction.
Obama, seeking to ease the fears of gun owners, reiterated his support for the Second Amendment. And he said no effort to reduce gun violence would be successful without their participation.
"I am also betting that the majority, the vast majority, of responsible law-abiding gun owners would be some of the first to say that we should be able to keep an irresponsible, law-breaking few from buying a weapon of war," he said.
He also challenged the National Rifle Association to do "some self-reflection." The gun lobby is a powerful political force, particularly in Republican primaries, and previously has worked to unseat lawmakers who back gun control measures.
The NRA has pledged to offer "meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again."

Robert Cummings Neville
Robert Cummings Neville (born May 1, 1939 in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.) is an American systematic philosopher and theologian, author of numerous books and papers, and ex-Dean of the Boston University School of Theology. J. Harley Chapman and Nancy Frankenberry, editors of a festchrift—a collection of critical essays written in Neville's honor—entitled Interpreting Neville, consider him to be "one of the most significant philosophers and theologians of our time".[1] Neville was Dean of Humanities and Fine Arts at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and has taught at Yale, Fordham, and the State University of New York Purchase. He is now a professor at Boston University[2] He was granted a Doctorate honoris causa by the Russian Academy of Sciences Institute of Far Eastern Studies in 1996.
Philosophical and theological work[edit]
Theory of being[edit]
Neville's most significant scholarly contribution is arguably his metaphysical theory of being (or being-itself): a new theory that involves an original solution to the ancient problem of the one and the many. He developed this theory for his PhD dissertation at Yale University (graduated 1963), of which his first book, God the Creator, constitutes a substantial revision. Exploring the implications of that theory has enabled him to produce a philosophy of nature that rivals Alfred North Whitehead's in scope and power, as can be seen from his three-volume Axiology of Thinking. The first volume in that trilogy, Reconstruction of Thinking (1981), was hailed by Donald W. Sherburne—editor of the corrected edition of Whitehead's Process and Reality—as "a truly important book. It is the first genuinely neo-Whiteheadian offering on a large, systematic scale."[3] The second volume of the trilogy, Recovery of the Measure: Interpretation and Nature (1989), was also well received. The prominent Confucian scholar and philosopher David L. Hall wrote of it as follows: "Because of its timeliness, the brilliance of its arguments, and the profundity of its conclusions, there is good reason to believe that this work will shortly become the focus of genuine and widespread discussion. With the publication of this latest installment of his Axiology of Thinking, Neville emerges as one of the strongest voices in American philosophy."[4] The complexity, systematic breadth, and analytic depth of Neville's thought is most evident in this second volume of his trilogy.
Comparative religious studies[edit]
Neville is also well known as a religious studies scholar, especially for his comparative work. He has authored several books in the field of comparative religion: The Tao and the Daimon (1981), Behind the Masks of God (1991), Boston Confucianism (2000), Ritual and Deference (2008), and Realism in Religion (2009). In addition, Neville is the editor of three volumes that resulted from a "Comparative Religious Ideas Project" funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Henry Luce Foundation, and Boston University: Religious Truth, Ultimate Realities, and The Human Condition, (all 2001). The latter three texts present a theory of comparison that uses C. S. Peirce's notion of "vagueness"[5] to develop what Neville calls vague categories of comparison. (A vague category is any category of thought that is left open to mutually incompatible specifications so as to allow for interpretations that might conflict with each other. For example, all swans are black specifies the vague proposition all swans are colored in a manner that contradicts all swans are white.) Neville argues that the judicious use of such categories enables comparisons to be made in such a way that respects the integrity and diversity of religious traditions.
Doctrine of creation[edit]
Neville's comparative work in religion and his systematic philosophy come together in numerous works of theology that attempt to interpret the Christian tradition in a manner that not only respects but even accommodates non-Christian voices. He is encouraged in this attempt by an interpretation of the doctrine of creation ex nihilo that he developed in his first book, God the Creator (1968). In that book, Neville argues that to be is to be determinate, that to be determinate is to contrast with other determinations in a context of mutual relevance, and that the ultimate context of mutual relevance—that which grounds the many determinations of being—is pure indeterminacy. But if all things are what they are by virtue of their contrast with indeterminacy, then they come to be out of nothing: they are created ex nihilo. According to the prominent Whiteheadian philosopher Lewis Ford, Neville's is one of the "two most distinctive theories of creation in the twentieth century, both in terms of what it means to bring actualities into being, and in terms of funding the relationship between God and the world in its widest perspective." (The other theory Ford has in mind is Alfred North Whitehead's.)[6] Though creation ex nihilo is typically associated with personalist varieties of theism, Neville's Creator is the purely indeterminate ground of beings. For this reason, he is encouraged to explore the possibility of Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian parallels in such texts as The Tao and the Daimon (1982), and Behind the Masks of God (1991). He is currently (April 2011) writing a trilogy of theological texts, the first installment of which was published in 2006 under the title, On the Scope and Truth of Theology: Theology as Symbolic Engagement. Neville's theology is critically engaged by numerous authors in a festschrift entitled, Theology in Global Context: Essays in Honor of Robert Cummings Neville (2004), edited by Amos Yong and Peter Heltzela.[7]
Proponent of Confucianism[edit]
Robert Neville is a proponent of Confucianism as a world philosophy. Together with several scholars from the Boston area of the United States—especially including Tu Weiming of Harvard University—Neville encourages the development of what has come to be called "Boston Confucianism." As its name suggests, Boston Confucianism is a "non-East Asian" expression of the Confucian tradition. Neville has produced several books devoted to Confucian themes, including one that argues at length for the legitimacy and exhibits the vitality and importance of Boston Confucianism: Boston Confucianism: Portable Tradition in the Late-Modern World (2000). His contributions to Chinese philosophy have resulted in his being given an honorary Chinese name: NAN Lo Shana.[8]
Academic and ecclesiastical positions[edit]
Neville is a past president of the American Academy of Religion, of the International Society for Chinese Philosophy, of the Metaphysical Society of America, of the Association of United Methodist Theological Schools, and of the Trustees of the Boston Theological Institute. He is a former member of the Accrediting Commission of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada and of the Commission on Theological Education of the United Methodist Church. Neville is currently a member of the editorial boards of Soundings and The Journal of the American Academy of Religion, and is the Associate Editor for Behavioral and Neurological Articles for The Encyclopedia of Bioethics. He was formerly on the editorial board of the Quarterly Review. An ordained elder in the Missouri East Conference of the United Methodist Church, Neville has pastored in Missouri and New York, and was Boston University chaplain from 2005 to 2009.[9]
Personal life[edit]
He is married to Beth Neville, with whom he has three children and several grandchildren. An accomplished artist (emphasizing oil and watercolor paintings, pen and ink illustrations), Beth creates much of the artwork for Robert Neville's books. Several color plates of her work appear in his "Symbols of Jesus".[10]
